PG Porkers (Sen. Currie)

Maryland has a fiscal crisis with a huge deficit looming despite the huge 2007 tax increase. But Tax and Spend Senator Ulysses Currie (D-25), who voted for the tax increase, and is currently being investigated for ethics violations, wants to spend even more of the money we don't have on non-essential, non-state government frills instead of maintaining essential state services like education and public safety. How many more state employees will be laid off or furloughed to help buy votes for Sen. Currie?

• SB 519, Creation of a State Debt - Prince George's County - Olde Mill Community and Teaching Center ($50,000)
  
• SB 827, Creation of a State Debt - Capital Area Food Bank ($300,000)
  
• SB 837, Gethsemane UMC Chosen Youth Group Basketball Court ($25,000)
• Total: $375,000
